✔️Action without words is the best form
Negative Manifestation
You’ve definitely heard saying -
Actions speak louder than words
The world has turned into a place of negativity. Decline in community, religion and increase in real time news, mainstream media, social media, them vs us, drastic population shifts, job loss, AI taking over, inflation and so on.
You will probably also have heard from a mother or grandmother -
If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all
Wise words
It is my opinion that frequently verbalizing negative thoughts - SHOCKER - turns you into a negative person.
Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny - Lao Tzu
⚠️Side note - I’m not one for quotes or references. They interrupt flow state and because a guy from the old days said it, it doesn’t mean its more valid than my own thoughts 😃
I agree with this quote and it is flows, logically. Repeated small things do turn into internalized big things. People for the most part, don’t want to be around negative people. It brings them down.
Negativity also changes nothing. It is a constant state of status quo.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results - Albert Einstein
Constant negativity en-masse promotes victimhood, which is also anti-Stoic and will get you nowhere.
I think the only time you should communicate when you are dissatisfied with something is - one time and one time only, convey the solution to the problem, leave it at that. Packaging the problem with a solution means you are proactive and trying to address the situation.
No Manifestation
If you project a positive outcome in the future such as “I am going to Start this big thing!”, it is my experience that the manifestation never occurs!
I believe that the positive feelings we get when we verbalize big things we are going to do, but have not yet done, quite often are enough of a social verification and reward that we don’t go the whole mile and complete what we talked about. We stop there and don’t continue down the path.
Take Action
If nothing changes and the situation still irks you - move on to a new place. Be a freedom loving, nomadic capitalist.
Prefer speaking with your actions instead of with your voice
"Action without words is the best form" resonates with me. I strongly believe that when you do something charitable or a random act of kindness - it is equally important to keep that to yourself. It just adds up in the Karma account. Thanks for sharing your positive thoughts today.
